“Ah, yes, those eeeeeeeevil Republican activists! Why, one of them donated $100,000 to the Swiftvets, accounting for two-thirds of their funding prior to the book’s publication. (They’ve raised about $200,000 since from 5,000 individual donors.) It’s a ludicrous non-sequitur; the Swiftvets’ testimony is what should be at issue here, not a single donation from a Republican. Does the Post seriously think that Democrats would line up to assist over 200 veterans from Viet Nam tell the truth about John Kerry?
